What the heck...

He had been trying to get through "Deadly Weeds," a simulation game, but the challenges in the third phase had far exceeded his expectations.

Black Cloud Fort, which had enjoyed several peaceful years in the second phase, suddenly became fraught with dangers at every turn in the third phase.

"Jiang Xiaoyu," the game character, would die constantly, several hundred times in just a few days, yet the story had barely progressed—it was completely stuck.

A sense of defeat from repeated failures overwhelmed Li Muyang, and he almost began to doubt whether the game was even beatable.

—After all, it was a game with no rules. It’s normal if it was designed with bugs.

Li Muyang was ready to accept the fact that the game could not be beaten.

But at that moment, a new system notification suddenly popped up.

The system has detected a new game template?

So the system can load multiple games at the same time?

It makes sense, after all, no one’s gaming console can only download and play one game at a time—Isn’t it common knowledge that there are piles of discounted games lying unused in the steam store!

Since he couldn’t progress the story at Black Cloud Fort anyway, and now that a new game had been retrieved by the system, Li Muyang immediately chose to load it, wanting to find out what this new game was all about.

As Li Muyang confirmed his choice, the system interface in his vision immediately returned to that expansive mountain and sea scroll.

In the vast world unfolding like a scroll, with mountains, rivers, and stars arranged like on a chessboard, ethereal figures of fairies were scattered about, shrouded in mist.

And a loading progress bar kept extending in the middle of this mountain and sea scroll.

[Game template—Three Kingdoms: Skies Suppressing the Demons Chronicles loading]

[Loading progress: 34%]

As the progress bar continued to extend, the number kept increasing.

It soon surpassed 100%.

[Time-limited game—Three Kingdoms: Skies Suppressing the Demons Chronicles loaded successfully!]

[Game "Three Kingdoms: Skies Suppressing the Demons Chronicles" available for a full-experience trial]

As this notification appeared, the system interface in Li Muyang’s view also displayed a list of games, much like the steam store.

In the game list on the top left corner, which was somewhat empty now,

"Newcomer Tutorial—The Mystery of Loushan City" (Closed)

"Deadly Weeds" (3/5)

"Three Kingdoms: Skies Suppressing the Demons Chronicles" (New)

...

"So, it really is a new game," Li Muyang murmured.

The frustration that had built up due to the stagnant storyline at Black Cloud Fort quickly dissipated with the arrival of the new game, putting a smile on his face.

No matter what, adding a happy +1 in the game store is always a delight.

But looking at the name of the game, Li Muyang scratched his head.

The Three Kingdoms... Is that referring to the Three Kingdoms from Earth in my previous life?

Although on Earth, Three Kingdoms elements are a classic theme in games, spawning a myriad of versions,

in this alternate world, the Three Kingdoms shouldn’t exist, right?

So far, all the game templates Li Muyang had encountered were built based on the Cultivation World.

Yet now, the system suddenly popped up a new game template, still featuring the classic Three Kingdoms elements from Earth’s past...

Driven by curiosity, Li Muyang chose to confirm.

The next second, the scroll of mountains and seas in his view changed. Enjoy exclusive adventures from NovelBin.Côm

The original mountains, rivers, and streams quickly disappeared. What unfolded in Li Muyang’s vision was a city shrouded in mist and eeriness.

A crimson blood moon hung high above the city, and on the towering city walls stood a series of sinister figures, like specters.

The endless wilderness was populated with bent figures of refugees trudging along, generals rushing on tall horses, fierce soldiers, and running wild dogs... creating a desolate scene of a dynasty’s final years.

The last row of powerful black characters slowly emerged in the scroll.

[The heavens will collapse, the earth will crumble…]

[In the year 188 AD, the raging fires of the Yellow Turbans had already been extinguished, leaving only a few scattered embers on the lands of the Great Han Dynasty]

[Inside the joyful Luoyang City, Emperor Ling of Han, Liu Hong, watched the returning generals with a satisfied smile on his face]

[However, beneath the peaceful surface of the Four Seas, a strange undercurrent was quietly surging]

[Rumors in the marketplaces claimed that the late Heavenly General Zhang Jiao would resurrect in Luoyang City, bringing with him his two deceased brothers and tens of thousands of Yellow Turbans ghosts to sweep through the provinces and flatten Luoyang…]

As the simple opening information concluded, Li Muyang blinked.

It was indeed the Three Kingdoms...

With Emperor Ling of Han and Zhang Jiao involved, what else could it be but the Three Kingdoms?

Li Muyang pondered the content of the game, and then the scene shifted to a quiet bamboo grove.

The cool breeze wafted through, and bamboo leaves fell. An elderly man with white hair and a figure as upright as a crane stood within the bamboo grove, laughing heartily.

"Zhang Jiao, a man of great ambition yet limited talent, harbored a vision for the world with mediocre abilities, undertaking that futile effort of throwing eggs against rocks, trying to shake the Han dynasty, ultimately in vain, leading to his own demise."

"All he did was pave the way for others, dressing them in wedding clothes made by his own hands."

"It’s such a pity for your ’Peaceful Art Manual’, wasted on such mediocrity… a true pity… a true lament…"

The elderly figure stood gracefully, appearing like a celestial being.

The next moment, the perspective shifted to another person in the bamboo grove.

Clothed in green, sitting amid the bamboo, holding a bamboo staff, his age was indiscernible—seeming both very young and very old, offering a stark contradiction.

Watching the old man chuckle before him, he spoke calmly.

"I’m headed to Luoyang to quell the spirits of the Yellow Turbans. No need for further persuasion, my mind is set."

As his voice fell, the old man in the bamboo grove sighed and said, "Nan Hua, my friend, why go to such lengths for Zhang Jiao, a mediocre commoner? No need to risk it for him. The dragon vein of the Han house isn’t severed yet; Luoyang City is suppressed by the royal dragon aura. For outsiders like us, entering the land of the royal dragon aura is exceedingly dangerous."

The old man sighed as he pleaded.

But the mysterious figure known as "Nan Hua" slowly shook his head, slightly tapping his bamboo staff, and said.

"I will forsake the flesh, choose a corpse to be reborn in within Luoyang City, to avoid the royal dragon aura."

"Yuan Fang, my friend, until next time!"

In Li Muyang’s vision, the mysterious person raised his hand holding the bamboo staff and bid farewell with a bow to the old man.

The next second, darkness enveloped the world, and Li Muyang saw a system notification pop up.

[Game Scene — "Three Kingdoms: Skies Suppressing the Demons Chronicles" has been entered]

As the system notification disappeared, the darkness in Li Muyang’s vision cleared away.

However, the scene that emerged from the darkness was no longer the bamboo grove but a cold, dirty alley.

In the alley lay a young boy, motionless, seemingly a corpse.

And Li Muyang’s perspective was that of an omniscient bird’s-eye view.

With a slight intention, he saw a wisp of green smoke drift from afar, settling into the boy’s body.

Immediately after, the boy’s body stood up.

[Nan Hua the Sage: I’ll briefly borrow this youth’s corpse to walk among the resentful spirits in Anding City…]
